I am selling my 2008 Raleigh Grand Sport Road Bike with full EXTRAS for 700$ (NEGOTIABLE price).
I have been using this bike for a year for commuting to the U of A. Sometimes I took it to little trips. I am the second owner of the bike. The bike is mechanically perfect. Shifting is smooth and fast, breaking is efficient. Due to the carbon fork in the front, the damping is higher which makes the riding more comfortable.
I changed the tires from the old ones to brand new Continental GATORSKIN puncture proof tires. I also added a protective layer between the tire and the tube in both wheels. I only had 3 flats during one year. The wheels are very well aligned. The break pads are replaced to new ones. I always enjoyed the extra pair of brake levers that make riding safer and more comfortable. The handlebar is well padded. The saddle is surprisingly comfortable even without special biking pants.
The bike has additional extras.
There are two insulated water bottles with holders.
There is a telescopic pump with compatibility to presta nd normal valves. (The bike is currently mounted with presta)
There is a NiteRider High Powered LED headlight with rechargeable NiMH battery. All waterproof and provides good visibility and vision even in complete darkness (non lighted streets). The light comes with accessories.
The tail light is a 3 mode super bright one. Both of the lights meet the requirements of the Laws of Transportation in AZ.
The bike is lightweight, perfect for training and commuting fast.
The bike comes with a cyclocomputer - CATEYE Astrale 8 (cadence, ODO, aVG, DST, Timer, clock, speed)
Even though in the pictures it is mounted with SPD pedals, I don't give them with the bike (unless you are willing to pay for it). The bike comes with the special pedals shown in picture below.
